I hate to ask but is this part of the quilting art dying out?
How many are still out there doing this amazing part of the quilting art?
How long before you had confidence in your skills?

and will look very good. Also do keep your stitches short, so you can control the needle and the thread... If your guild, or local quilt shop offers classes on it, do take one... Jan Patek is a great teacher of this. I am not sure there might be a tut of it on u-tube. Good Luck and happy stitchen!!

PS.... I forgot to add the short pins with the white head on them that are especially for applique, are a great help! And'.... if you pin from the back, the pin points will not get you hung up!! I truly recommend you to take a class! you will learn so many great tips to have a great blocks!!!

Some enjoy the process and the result. Others like to get to the result faster. I'm not too interested in books or pattterns that emphasize the speed of a project. Dont' care for great big blocks just to finish quicker. But for many busy women today, that's the way to go.
I hope that in the future these hand techniques don't die out.

Guess I'm not into "quantity" so much now that I'm older. The fast pace of the world now leaves me wondering how much of the beauty & joy of life many are missing because they are in such a hurry to cram as much into 24 hrs. as they can. But then that obviously just dates me doesn't it
:roll:
Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/love :lol:

I love to applique and I still hand quilt my quilts. I guess we live in a society that wants to get everything done quickly and move on. I know I am old fashion but I just love the results of hand work and especially applique. I find it very relaxing and I can watch TV and do it . Patterns are becoming a little more available especially Baltimore quilt patterns.
